Emmy Koeleman

Emmy Koeleman (30) was born in Uithoorn, which is around 8km from Amsterdam and very close to the famous flower market in Aalsmeer.

Despite having grown up with the main horticultural area in the Netherlands on her doorstep, her interest lay in agriculture.

In 1996, she began a BSc degree in Animal Husbandry at the Agricultural College in Delft. And then went on to complete an MSc in Animal Science at Wageningen University, where she completed her thesis at its department of Quantitative Veterinary Epidemiology.

Since graduating from Wageningen in 2002, Emmy has worked with a variety of companies involved in agricultural publishing. In 2003, she took up a position at Reed Business, initially as editorial assistant for the magazine Pig Progress, but since 2005 as editor of Feed Mix and co-editor of Feed Tech.
